So the US knew the location of the Iranian ship off Sri Lanka bc both the US and Iran were part of a military exercise hosted by India which the US pulled out of at the last minute, presumably so as to bomb the unarmed Iranian ship

[netraven@hear-me.social]

@AlisonCreekside all hands on the vessel must have known the Iranian ship was defenseless, yet they still carried out orders to destroy it. In my mind that makes all the soldiers onboard war criminals for not stopping this clearly illegal order.

@AlisonCreekside JFC this executive is amoral. I mean we've known this for years, but every day the bar sinks lower.

It must be said that in war, anything goes, and the US will not hold back.

@AlisonCreekside cheers, just going to his page on X (when not logged in), didn't see the post. It shows if you remove the "cancel" from your URL too.

@chu @AlisonCreekside @fname it is a crime. Absolutely. But, as with all crimes, it's really only enforcement that matters.

@AlisonCreekside The thing about bottomless pits is that you are always shocked when you pass that point where you think there could be no further down.

The reason being is that you just didn't have imagination enough.

This is our new lowest of lows, but it's not the bottom. Trump's dragging us all the way down with him. There's something lower than being a pedophile who has his friends disarm his enemies so he can kill them and brag about his strength. As we become that thing we'll learn.

@AlisonCreekside thats just called murder

Now we learn that the Iranian ship torpedoed by an American submarine was defenseless. A requirement for participating in regional exercises. The US was scheduled to participate in them, too, but withdrew at the last minute.

The American navy needlessly sank a vessel that was no threat -- and apparently refused to render aid to survivors.

That submarine commander and his chain of command are in serious legal jeopardy. It happens to everyone who works for Donald J. Trump.

And the disgusting assholes knew it was defenseless.

They also just left the crew to drown.

Killed Junior school children in an illegal double tap attack.

I hope the actions are payed back a thousant times

usa can not be trusted in any way, it should be isolated.

ALL their troops and weapons must be removed from EU ASAP as a liability.

What if the Commander refused to break the law? Fired? Worse? What position is this regime putting our military in?

[gparenti@mstdn.social]

@AlisonCreekside I feel gut-punched by depravity of my country.

[ytscorp@mstdn.social]

@Netraven @AlisonCreekside
I imagine the ptsd our military will experience from all of this will require tons of support from the funding slashed VA.

There's a special place in HELL for Trump, Hegseth, and anyone following their illegal orders!🤬

@AlisonCreekside wh

What the fuck

That is so much worse than what I knew about

[gimulnautti@mastodon.green]

@AlisonCreekside WTF? What a ”Great Victory”. 🤯

Hegseth’s ”Warrior Ethic” seems as honorable as Donald Trump’s business ethic!

[violetmadder@kolektiva.social]

@Hex @chu @AlisonCreekside @fname

(And don't forget the crime of just leaving any survivors to drown.)

@thecampbell @AlisonCreekside

Sadistic child-raping planetwreckers, that's who.

This is the kind of behavior everyone should expect from war profiteers. They have no conscience, no hearts, no decency of any kind. The same types of people who love chasing homeless people back and forth across town, throwing away all their belongings at every turn. The same types of people who deny health insurance to the sick so they can keep more profits to buy yachts with. The same types of people who clearcut old growth forests, poison rivers, charge money for vaccines, cover up the science of cigarette health risks, sneer at empathy, hate democracy, and invest in mass surveillance instead of mitigating climate change.

They're not even hiding the fact that they want to be supervillains anymore.

Monsters. We are being ruled by monsters.
